Email received from Mirmak that some model creators are using a checklist (Actel). Additionally Bob Ross mentioned that analog devices also is using a checklist. Committee members noted that numerous companies have there own internal checklist. Pushing for acceptance of a common industry checklist is the major goal of the IQ effort. Mike believes it is important to automate the checklist generation to minimize manual intervention Mike volunteered to review the list of checks and determine which ones could be entered as bugs to the parser. This list will be reviewed at the next meeting. Eventually we could divide up the bugs/enhancement reports, write and submit them among the committee members. This can be a time consuming task depending on the complexity of the bug/enhancement request. There was consensus for committee members to contact at least one company and encourage them to beta test the checklist. There was agreement to set a pointer from the EIA IBIS page to one spot in the SiSoft IBIS Quality Website where companies can download the IQ checklist kit. While there are pointers and a kit a little more work here was proposed, to enable he IQ committee to edit and posting updates. Representation of committee at IBIS open forums can help 'get the word out'. Bob Ross and Haller generally attend open forums, but will try to make converted effort to have representation at these meetings. AR: Mike to generate straw horse list of checks to submit as bugs to parser AR: Team members contact one company to beta test checklist Note: Meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month Next meeting: December 7, 2004 11-12 AM EST (8-9 AM PST) Phone: 408-902-7868 or 866-902-7868 Meeting access: 42477825 Meeting ended at 12:05 AM Eastern Time. -- Robert J.
